RANCH DRESSING WITH YOGURT AND BASIL ASHTON STYLE #(60)

      One would question making a ranch dressing with yogurt and  basil.  My advice is to try it and see for yourself how it tastes!  I have found the combination to work well!

INGREDIENTS:
     4 cups plain yogurt
     2 cups virgin olive oil
     1/2 cup white wine vinegar
     1/2 cup water
     1 bulb of garlic cloves peeled and minced
     3 tab basil
     1 tsp salt
     1 tsp pepper or to taste
     1/3 cup Contadina tomato paste
     1/4 cup sugar

DIRECTIONS:
     1. mix all ingredients except the olive oil
         in a blender
     2. slowly pour the olive oil into the
         blender at a low speed until all is
         incorporated
     3. taste for flavor and salt; adjust if necessary
